Gross Profit Calculator
Find gross profit and gross margin from revenue and the direct cost of goods sold.
Formula
Gross profit = revenue minus cost of goods sold. Gross margin = gross profit divided by revenue, shown as a percentage.
How it works
Type in total revenue and the direct costs of producing or buying what you sold, such as materials and direct labour. The result shows what is left before rent, salaries and other overheads. A higher margin means each sale keeps more money toward running the business.
FAQs
What counts as cost of goods sold?
Direct costs tied to what you sold: materials, wholesale stock and direct production labour. Rent and marketing are not included here.
Why is my gross profit negative?
That means direct costs were higher than revenue, so the selling price does not cover even the cost of the goods.
Is gross profit the same as net profit?
No. Net profit subtracts all other expenses too, so it is usually lower than gross profit.
